On the ridge on the side of the big river dam, a company of the Infantry Artillery Battalion of the Seventh Detachment of the New Fourth Army and a company of the 82nd Mortar Battalion were quietly hidden in an open field on the mountain ridge. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The four 92 infantry guns were already set to shoot at Zhu Yuan, and they could carry out a fierce bombardment at the predetermined target just by waiting for an order, and similarly, the eight 82 mortars were also ready to shoot.

In the vicinity of the artillery position, Qin Yonghe arranged two infantry companies to be responsible for protection.

The infantry artillery battalion under the artillery regiment of the 7th detachment has two 92 infantry artillery companies and one ammunition transport logistics service company, and the infantry artillery company has two infantry artillery platoons and one ammunition transport platoon, and each infantry artillery platoon has two 92 infantry guns. The mortar battalion has three infantry artillery companies, each with two mortar platoons and one ammunition transport platoon.

Artillery is different from infantry, all ammunition and equipment cannot be carried by individual soldiers, and the ammunition required by it often needs to be supplied by a special person.

This time, the artillery hurried to the ridge and relied on the assistance of two infantry companies responsible for the defense.

Before Qin Yonghe arrived at the mountain range, he sent the soldiers of the reconnaissance company of the regiment headquarters out early to closely monitor the movements of the devils, and at the same time, on the side of the Daheba road, he also arranged a latent observation post to be responsible for providing target data for the artillery.

After anxiously waiting, the huge contingent of devil reinforcements finally appeared on the mountain ridge on the west side of the big river dam, and then flowed down the mountain like a flood and along the road to the center of the big river dam.

At this time, on both sides of the Daheba Highway, there are green corn fields, and the corn seedlings are still thriving, but some of the faster ones are beginning to spit out their ears and grow tender red whiskers.

Qin Yonghe was on the mountains, and he could only see the shadows of some cars in the distance, that is, the roar of cars, because it was too far away, and he couldn't hear it at all.

The devil came all the way, but he was still very careful, and troops were sent on both sides of the road to guard and search, and within a kilometer, they were all within his control.

Although there were also small groups of troops of the New Fourth Army attacking and harassing during this period, they were all repelled by the Japanese alert troops.

Qin Yonghe saw that the devil's convoy drove to the predetermined area, turned his head to stare at the communication soldier, and then heard the lurking post report the devil's location by phone, he suddenly felt a wave of pride surging in his heart, and shouted at the artillery behind him to open fire.

"Ready, put." As the commander's loud voice sounded, the prepared artillery immediately fired the shells, and suddenly, the sound of shells galloping in the sky sounded, and then with a long whistling sound, they flew towards the devil reinforcements on the highway that were advancing towards Ningyuan.

The captain of the Japanese army, who was in charge of commanding the reinforcements, was sitting in a car at the time, looking at the green fields on both sides with great interest, and just as he was passing through Yuejiang Town, he received a telegram from Matsui, saying that the New Fourth Army besieging Ningyuan City may have slowed down its attack because it was worried about the bombing of the planes of the Imperial Japanese Army, but it was still surrounded outside the city and did not stay away.

It seemed that the New Fourth Army was waiting for the night to come.

But he came from Huainan to reinforce, and it was impossible for the New Fourth Army not to know, otherwise there would not be so many small forces attacking along the way, but if the New Fourth Army really thought that these small troops could complete the task of blocking themselves, it would be too small to look down on the imperial army.

Just when he looked out of the car and thought about how to make Matsui make good arrangements for himself after arriving in Ningyuan City, he suddenly heard a strange sound in the sky, and then saw a column of smoke rising from the road, and countless shells fell into the convoy that was crossing the big river dam, and in a blink of an eye, four cars were hit, and thick black smoke rose, as for what the situation of the soldiers in the car would be, he didn't know.

The two cars in front were hit, and a fire broke out on the road, and the two cars behind tried to go around, but in a panic, the wheels were stuck in the mud on the side of the road, and they could no longer climb out, and the soldiers in the car hurriedly jumped out of the car with guns.

At this moment, the shells of the New Fourth Army flew towards the long convoy on the highway as if they had eyes, and the last two cars were hit and fell down directly, blocking the convoy's retreat, and the entire highway was in chaos.

Seeing this, the captain of the Japanese army suddenly changed his face, suddenly pushed the door of the car and jumped out of the car, and ordered the soldiers to get out of the car in a hoarse voice, and at the same time let the soldiers who got off the car quickly disperse to both sides.

It is a pity that at this time, the shells of the New Fourth Army flew one after another, falling on the road, blowing up one car after another, and at the same time blowing countless soldiers into the sky.

After three minutes of shelling, the devil's reinforcement convoy was completely blown up on the road, according to the guidance of the latent post, the shells began to fire towards the area where the devils were concentrated, with the successive explosions, the idea of the devils trying to assemble the team came to naught, as long as there were dozens of devils leaning together, there were immediately shells flying towards this position, and the constant explosions blew up the devils on the road to cry wolf, in comparison, those puppet troops who cooperated with the action were slightly better, and the artillery fire on the mountain ridge was under the guidance of the latent post, Leave them alone for the time being.

No, under the command of some clever puppet army officers, countless puppet troops burrowed into the cornfield and ran into the distance.

Qin Yonghe commanded the artillery attack on the Japanese reinforcements, which stopped after ten minutes.

Glancing at the highway that was blown up, Qin Yonghe showed a satisfied smile on his face, this round of sudden artillery fire was enough for the devils who came to reinforce to drink a pot, but it was a pity that the strength of the second regiment was limited, if at this time he could concentrate his forces and give the reinforcements a hard blow, then how much could this group of enemies escape back was worth a big question mark.

It's just that the artillery is the treasure in the heart of the detachment leader, and he can't afford to miss the slightest, so Qin Yonghe had to evacuate the mountain with the artillery and quickly move towards Ningyuan City.

Although even if the devil's plane arrives at the scene, it will take an hour later, but the artillery transfer itself is not agile enough, and if it is not withdrawn in advance, once it is targeted by the devil's plane, I am afraid it will be a big trouble.

Hearing that there were no more shells flying in the sky, many devils and puppet soldiers who were lying on the ground and trembling got up, but what caught their eyes was the constantly burning cars, as well as countless detonated ammunition, and the corpses of the dead soldiers scattered along the road were even more shocking.

The entire highway was filled with the screams of wounded soldiers, some of whom had their thighs blown off, some of their arms broken, and some of whom had been hit by shrapnel in the abdomen, revealing the boss's mouth and bleeding continuously.

Even those who were not injured were covered in gunsmoke or sludge, and their faces were full of panic, and they did not have the slightest appearance of the Imperial Japanese Army.

When the captain of the Japanese army saw this scene, he couldn't help but gasp, but fortunately, the Japanese soldiers who reinforced them were well-trained after all, and under the command of officers at all levels, they still quickly sobered up, and two relatively complete squads were sent to both sides to guard, and the rest began to treat the wounded and count the losses.

Forty minutes later, the losses of the Japanese reinforcements were counted.

Seeing the data written on the tissue paper in his hand, the Japanese captain only felt that his eyes were dark, his mouth was sweet, and he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of dirty blood.

It's no wonder that he was so angry that he vomited blood, although he was attacked by a small group of troops of the New Fourth Army all the way over, and lost dozens of soldiers, but for him, this did not hurt his vitality at all, but just now the New Fourth Army's ten-minute artillery fire destroyed most of the cars, not to mention, it also caused more than 200 imperial soldiers to be unfortunately killed, more than 300 soldiers were killed or wounded, and as for the puppet army, after the explosion killed and wounded and ran away, there were less than 500 people.

Just one artillery attack caused him to lose more than half of his reinforcements, and his combat effectiveness was sharply reduced by two-thirds.

Fortunately, the damage to the vehicle delivering the ammunition and supplies was not serious, and the ammunition and other ammunition on the vehicle were not hit and exploded, otherwise the loss would have been much greater.

More than half of the troops were killed and wounded, which directly led to the reinforcement brigade being disabled, and now not to mention going to relieve the siege of Ningyuan County, it is a question whether he can return to Huainan alive.

Those soldiers who died in battle really can't be left behind, but those casualties of the Imperial soldiers can't be ignored, more than 300 soldiers, and now there is no car transportation, just retreating with them is a headache.

Under the persuasion of his subordinates, the Japanese captain finally came to his senses, he glanced at the mountains in the distance with hatred, and ordered the signal corps to report the details to the wing commander, and asked the wing commander to allow him to withdraw with his troops to Yuejiang Town.

When the commander of the Japanese army stationed in Huainan City received a report that the reinforcements were attacked by the New Fourth Army under heavy artillery fire at Daheba, and that more than half of the troops had suffered casualties, he could not believe his eyes.

Just using artillery bombardment to cause such large casualties to the opponent, what tacit cooperation is required, and what kind of ferocious artillery fire is needed, could it be that the artillery in Liu Tianshu's hands actually surpassed the imperial army?

That's appalling, isn't it?

In fact, this is also to blame the Japanese army for the sake of face, and did not inform the Japanese commanders around Liu Tianshu of the losses suffered by the attack on the military column, plus after Liu Tianshu attacked the military column, he devoted himself to training the troops, and did not kill the surrounding Japanese troops, so that these Japanese soldiers thought that although Liu Tianshu's troops became the seventh detachment, their combat effectiveness was not greatly improved.

As everyone knows, the artillery fire in Liu Tianshu's hands now is not inferior to the same number of Japanese troops, and even slightly better.

His own reinforcements were killed and wounded by more than half, and it was naturally inappropriate for them to relieve the siege of Ningyuan County, and what the Japanese wing commander was worried about now was whether the troops he had managed to squeeze out could safely return to Huainan.

After walking around the house twice in a rage, he had to order the Japanese troops who had come out to reinforce to quickly withdraw to Yuejiang Town, and send troops to meet him, as for Matsui in Ningyuan County, he could only let him hold on and wait for reinforcements.

It's just that where to draw troops to relieve the siege, the Japanese wing commander felt a headache. (To be continued.) )
